Pallekele: West Indian captain Darren Sammy admitted off-spinner Sunil Narine will be his trump card to exploit England’s weakness against slow bowlers in the Super Eights match here on Thursday.

England crashed to their heaviest defeat, of 90 runs, in their game versus India, with Harbhajan Singh taking 4-12.

And that prompted Sammy to raise more hopes with Narine. “Sunil is our trump card, he’s done well for us in that format, hopefully he could have a big impact on the English batting line-up,” said Sammy. West Indies also have the option of bringing in leg-spinner Samuel Badree to add to the guile of Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels, who can also bowl handy spin. (AFP)
